What ET are those?

Not sure, ill check in the morning. The wheel sticks out of the arch around 1 - 2mm

Did you find the offset?

Hi I have a Polo GTI, thinking about changing the wheels.

Just wondering whats the lowest offset i could get away with on a 8 inch wide wheel?

Thinking of going for a 225/40R18 tyre on a 18 x 8.0" wheel.

Thank you.

Photoshopped them on to see haha.

I just didnt use the clips on the fronts and had no issues

All UK GTI and GTI+ have the 2 stage damping.

Thanks mate, you think it would just be best to put lowering springs on then? Because the cancelation kit is near enougn £300

I've no idea, never looked into lowering mine.

Ahh fair enough thanks mate

Hi hope you are well.

I am considering putiing coilovers on my GTI+ and was wondering if all GTIs had the electronic dampening on them from the factory?

If so do i need a electronic damping cancellation kit? Or is there a way around not needing it.
